Police will be exhuming the body of a five-year-old girl for autopsy after her father alleged that she was murdered before being dumped in the cesspool of an under-construction house in Nayagaon.
The child’s body was recovered from the cesspool on Friday night, following which she was buried at the Sector 25 cremation ground.
However, suspecting murder, her parents approached the Nayagaon police to exhume their daughter’s body for autopsy.

It will be dug up around 11 am on Tuesday in the presence of the tehsildar, who will be the duty magistrate, besides a team of doctors, and will be sent for autopsy.”
